    b. $6.50 per machine-hour

    Explanation:

    The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is

    = Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost : Total machine-hours + Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour

    = $294,000 : 70,000 + $2.30

    = $4.20 + $2.30

    = $6.50 per machine-hour

    Therefore, all the other information that is given are irrelevant. Hence, ignored it
